"Hay dos tipos de personas en el mundo: las que intentan ganar y las que intentan ganar discusiones. Nunca son las mismas."
Simplified meaning
Some people focus on reaching their goals and achieving success, while others are more concerned with proving they are right in conversations. Imagine a sports team trying to win a game. The players work hard to score points and win because that's their main goal. Now think about two people arguing about the best way to play the game. One just wants to show he knows more and prove the other wrong. The first group is like the players who want to win the game, and the second group is like the person who wants to win the argument about the game. If you spend too much time arguing, you might miss the chance to actually succeed in what you set out to do. It's better to focus on what really matters, like the players trying to win the game, rather than getting stuck in endless debates.
